This is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I say this in celebration of my 100th comment. But it is "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" for real.

The cats were no match from the adult bird Leuba! I saw her chase the cats away. It mimicked a land animal by staying on the ground, opened it's wing and made loud noises while chasing the feline.

A good natural spotting but hope the stalkers all kept well away ! we wish we all had telephoto lens so we don't disturb the birds - well, unfortunately it's another story with cats and wild life...
